2016-04-29 AM Dhamma Talk: Turning Citta Around 49:03

2016-04-28 The Story of Devadatta: Lust for Power in the Buddha's Time 52:51
James Baraz
Devadatta, the Buddha's cousin and brother-in-law, joined the Order in the early years with good intentions. Over time his jealousy and obsession with power turned him into the Buddha's main enemy. This dramatic story, reading like a Hollywood screenplay, gives us lessons in just what hunger for power can drive someone to do and the Buddha's wise responses to the various threats he faced.

2016-04-27 Listening with an Awake Heart 69:36
Tara Brach
True listening both nurtures and expresses evolving consciousness. This talk explores our ego-based conditioning to have an agenda or defendedness that prevents deep listening, and the strategies that evolve our capacity to listen fully to ourselves and others. When our listening is openhearted and full, it enables deep understanding and connectedness, and provides a transformative healing space for those who receive our listening attention.

2016-04-26 PM Dhamma Talk: Right Effort 54:30
Ajahn Sucitto
Right effort is based on right view, discerning what we want to align the citta to, then absorbing those qualities like a sponge. There is an energy to these qualities that can be sensed and directly felt in the body.

2016-04-26 AM Dhamma Talk: Mindfulness of Breathing 48:44
Ajahn Sucitto
Our inability to stay with unpleasant feelings causes us to dissociate and split off. Attention to breathing provides the anchor to stabilize volatile emotions and creates an agreeable abiding that paves the way towards unification (samadhi).
Padmasambhava Peace Institute :  Body, Heart and Mind: Embodying Citta

2016-04-26 AM Puja: 5 Subjects for Frequent Recollection 34:56
Ajahn Sucitto
The practice of recollections brings a sense of immediacy, heightening attentiveness and focusing the mind. With each recollection ask, "How is the mind being affected?" The embodied response to this is a means for breaking old habits and releasing kamma.

2016-04-25 AM Dhamma Talk: The Mudra of Attention 42:29
Ajahn Sucitto
Accessing the gift within takes a particular kind of attention that is light and sustained, like an open hand. This is the attention that ripens into mindfulness and deepens into samadhi; from this wisdom can arise.

2016-04-24 Evening Dhamma Talk: Releasing the Qualities of the Boundless Heart through Embodiment 56:54
Ajahn Sucitto
The great heart's natural response to pain and suffering is compassion and equanimity, released by directly handling experience through embodiment. Without the natural ground of embodiment there is a tendency towards differentiation and forming abstractions about self and other that create separation.
